Spring Fever on the Campus
It's a great time—when the young man's fancy turns to what the
young ladies have been thinking about all winter and the grass and the
young ladies turn green because the sun is shining and somebody got a
new spring outfit—that old lazy feeling that makes the chemistry lab
smell stuffy and the math room seem like prison and cause the faculty to
frown over absences and then make allowances 'cause they're just as
crazy about it as we are—when you forget responsibilities and wet feet
and cuss under your breath while you lay in bed and sweat out a cold—
when you walk home after dark and get sidetracked because you can't
stand to go home and study—and then aren't sorry because you didn't—
the time of the year for birds and are they good—it's a great time and we
love it and let 'em laugh at South Dakota but we still will think that we
have the best spring.
There's some fellas we know up in Alaska that are thinkin' of spring
too as they wallow through the slush and mud on fatigue duty, and
there's some sweating and burning under the North African sun and
pitting their wits against a bunch of animals that don't remind them of
spring—and some fighting the flies, and the fever, the jungle and the
Japs in the South Pacific and some looking forward to Australian winter
and weeks without sleep, and living in the mud and dirt and ducking
around with fate to see if maybe they will come home at all. They're
thinking of spring in South Dakota too—only with a lump in their throat
and an old ache that they try to tell you isn't homesickness.
It may be a time for a lot of fun but we have some big, unpleasant
things to do first. We got to get those fellow home and then there'll be
something else that will make you want to stand up and shout, "I helped
win the war"—and you'll feel happy if you aren't lyin'.
World Student Service Fund
THE WORLD STUDENT SERVICE FUND is on the march! It is
driving toward a goal of $300,000 worth of aid for students in the war-torn
countries of Europe and China. This fund will give to students.
food. clothing, and above all a chance to continue their education. It
will mean new hope; it will mean a new life to the unfortunate students
and prisoners of war.
The President of our United States, Franklin D. Roosevelt. has said,
"In the process of our working and fighting for victory we must never
permit ourselves to forget the goal that is beyond victory.' The defeat of
Hitlerism is necessary so that there may be freedom; but this war, like
the last war, will produce nothing but destruction unless we prepare for
the future now. We plan now for the better world we plan to build."
The big SERVICE FUND drive will be during the month of April
on Northern's Campus. Some very fine speakers are being secured to
speak to the students and stay on the campus for several days to work
with the various clubs and organizations.
Start saving your nickels and dimes for this worthy cause.

Fairyland To Be
Held On Northern
Campus, May 1
A fanfare of silver trumpets on
May first will issue in the long
awaited Fairyland on Northern's
campus. Hosts of fairies and
brownies will leave their woodland
retreats to make boys and girls
happy for the whole day. The
fairy folk have promised to make
Spafford gymnasium and the col-lege
auditorium the scene of their
May Day festival this year. Wear-ing
holiday costumes, what a
merry crowd they'll be!
Fairyland is sponsored annually
by the college branch of the Asso-ciation
for Childhood Education.
It is well known that "the child of
today is the man of tomorrow;"
for this reason, it is imperative
that children be given wholesome
happy entertainment.
Children have never needed the
friendly understanding and warm
interest of teachers and parents
more than at present; and attend-ance
at Fairyland is evidence of
that essential interest. With many
mothers as well as fathers em-ployed
in industry or giving much
time to volunteer work, and fam-ilies
moving from place to place
under military orders or in search
of employment, emotional prob-lems
among children often develop.
The adult's job, as CHILDHOOD
EDUCATION says, is to create an
atmosphere of warm stability by
keeping a sense of proportion and
an awareness of the stability and
magnitude of the universe during
these war years. The thoughtful
individual may, in this way, lessen
fearful imaginings and tensions
and bring about deepened poise in
children.
Fairyland is a day long remem-bered
by boys and girls of Aber-deen
and the near-by communities.
It is of definite value to the wel-fare
of every child.
"Don't fail to be there
Let's drive away care
For Maytime is gaytime 'tis true;
In the circle enchanted
Where dreams are all granted
The fairies are waiting for you."
Collegiate Review
Plans Being Made
Here's the next big date to en-circle
with red on your calendar,
April 20, the date that belongs to
the Big Collegiate Review of 1943.
The YWCA, that up and coming
cooperative college organization, is
sponsoring the event.
The COLLEGIATE REVIEW is
the same as the HAMATEUR
HOUR of previous years, at which
time the college hams will do their
"stuff." The acts will be presented
in the college auditorium at 8:00.
College students with varying abil-ities
(singing, dancing, speech-making,
guitar-playing, imitating)
are given the chance to enter.
Mary Ann Lyngstad, president of
YW, will be glad to receive your
entry at any time. Any club in
school is eligible to enter, as well
as individual entries. The more en-tries
we have the better COLLE-GIATE
REVIEW we will have.
Get out your rags and tags, and
all your talent from your clubs,
rehearse at the next meeting of
your elite club and perform the
night of April 20. This is not
only for students but Northern's
entire musical and dramatic public
is invited to attend and pick from
the rank of actors those that they
feel deserve an oustanding hand of
applause.
Mae Rock will be the master of
ceremonies.
Prizes will be $5.00; $3.00; and
$1.00, for First, second and third
respectively.
Girl Dates Girl To
Party Reserved
For Femmes Only
Prizes Offered For Best
Costumes And Talent Shown
To spite the boys, to find out
what it is like to arrange a date,
or just because women do those
things is the reason Northern
women will try and forget the men
as they date their chum of the
same sex for a big night of danc-ing
and entertainment at the an-nual
Co-ed Hop in the Spafford
Gymnasium, Friday, March 26.
With dancing starting at 8:30
p. in. as the main entertainment,
an all around lively program is
promised along with refreshments.
At 11:30 p. m., the girl who wears
the pants will escort her partner
home.
This year prizes are being
awarded to the (1) person with
most humorous costume, (2) cos-tume
with most character in it,
(3) the best kid outfit and (4) to
the best looking couple. Dress
may be of any type, including
formals. So every girl should plan
to attend and dress either very
sedately or humorously.
A new feature this year accord-ing
to Jeanne Biegler, president of
WSGA, is to have planned pro-grams.
Programs like the ones
used at regular proms will be filled
out ahead of time so that every
girl is dancing all of the t i m e.
These programs may be purchased
this week with the showing of your
activity tickets.
There will be a special floor
show during the evening.
Committees for the evening, af-fair
include the following:
Barbara Jerde—Programs for
the dances.
Mary Ann Lyngstad—Prizes.
Janice Horton—Chaperones.
Gerry Hagen—Dance Programs.
All faculty women and faculty
wives are cordially invited to at-tend
the Co-ed Hop. This is the
exclusive party of the year, so all
plan to attend. An enjoyable
evening is promised. WARNING!
NO MALES WILL BE ALLOWED
TO CRASH THE PARTY!
PRES. STEELE TO CHICAGO
Dr. N. E. Steele will attend a
joint conference of Executive
Committees of National Teacher
Education organizations at the
Shoreland Hotel, Chicago, March
27-30. Dr. Steele is a member of
the executive committee of the
American Association of Teachers
Colleges, and vice president of that
organization.
PROFESSOR WRAY WRITES
Dear Dr. Steele:
Yes, we got here but in such a
mess! We got a late start so put
up at Willmar Friday night, and
on here Saturday morning. We
got in just ahead of the storm.
Here we are all in a mess—no
chance to get settled — roads
blocked and coal at a low ebb. The
snow plow went through yester-day,
mail is now coming, so every-thing
looks promising. They have
had a tough winter, haven't seen so
much snow for a long time. It
started snowing in September.
they tell us. Maybe we should
have located in Florida.
Regards to anyone you think
might be interest. Best wishes.
A. N. Wray,
Route 2, Paynesville, Minn.
The faculty and students of
Northern wish to express their
sincerest sympathy to President
and Mrs. Steele, Miss Keo King,
and Mr. and Mrs. Shinkel in
their recent bereavement.
